Events and entertainment
From free barbeques, on-campus cinemas and cheap lunch deals to week-long festivals and O-Week activities, universities try to offer students an active social calendar. If you’ve moved away from home to attend uni or don’t have much time to chat away during class, these are a great way to meet people and have some fun on campus.
Clubs and societies
Universities have endless clubs and societies ranging from drama and theatre to religious groups, political associations and competitive sports — even quidditch for loyal Harry Potter fans. No matter how niche your hobby is, it’s likely that a club exists to cater for it.
Academic and English language support services
All universities offer support services to assist students with needs such as assignment writing and research skills, as well as English language help for international students.
Career and employment help
If you’re on the look-out for part-time work or even a graduate job, most universities offer career and employment services to help you get started. Some universities have staff who can help you put together a résumé or improve your interview skills, while others may offer a student job search through the union website or help students gain voluntary work experience or internships.
Advisory services
Universities understand that living on a low income isn’t always easy, especially with textbooks, car repairs and social lives in the mix. Most will offer advisory services that can help you with finances, legal advice and health care. Financial help may include assistance with planning your out-of-home budget, managing debt or applying for government assistance.
